I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in North Carolina and Wisconsin with over 5 years of experience working as a therapist and case manager for teens and families in the justice system and Veterans. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, involvement in the justice system, long term incarceration, substance abuse, ADHD, PTSD, life satisfaction, and various forms of abuse and trauma.
My counseling style is very supportive and empowering but I will also always be transparent with what I believe you need to hear. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I seek to reduce the stigma and stress associated with accessing therapy. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, narrative, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. I will work hand in hand with you to develop a treatment that works for you as a unique human being with unique needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Thank you Ryan!

He really understands what it is I am trying to convey and if he doesn't immediately he will very shortly. He also really helped me in understanding my own needs and doesn't tell me what decisions to make. He recommends stuff and explains his reasoning. He really is logical in breaking things down.

Ryan is really great for anyone who is looking for a therapist who not only listens, but creates a friendly and natural environment. He has a casual manner that allows for therapy to be less stressful. I always feel comfortable sharing things with him and the techniques he has taught me to help with multiple issues have really helped.

I enjoy, appreciate and do well with his straightforwardness. I feel like I’m talking with someone I can relate to, even though it’s in a professional setting. He is very approachable and human. He’s also calm and a good listener. His intuitiveness about the thoughts I try to communicate, but sometimes don’t have the words for goes a long way towards making me comfortable and helping me feel understood. I have made progress in handling everyday life and problems better since I’ve been speaking with him.
